This award-winning, interactive museum explores the evolution of communication—from gestures and body language to postal services, telecommunications, and digital media—across three floors of hands-on exhibits and activities. It’s especially popular with families and those interested in technology and culture, thanks to its engaging displays and live communicators who interact with visitors.
